Chapter 1106

Elijah clenched his fist in anger.

“What kind of person would do such a horrible thing?” Stefan asked.

“From the multiple pieces of evidence, such despicable means could only come from our old enemy, Carmine Pawnshop. Boss, you must not let them get away this time!”

“Damn it! It’s them again!” Stefan slammed his hand on the table heavily, clearly pissed. “If they like tethering on death’s door so much, then don’t blame us for not showing mercy!”

Stefan was so mad that he nearly exploded, but Renee was feeling the complete opposite.

The woman was sitting by the hospital’s artificial lake at the time, holding her phone and video calling with her brother, Quinton, along with her two children.

“Brother, be honest with me. You may be managing a pawn business, but do you raise pigs as a side job? Why do I feel that Abby and Adie have gained weight?”

Renee was not exaggerating at all. Many videos of the kids showed that they had indeed grown fat.

The siblings were once a dashing prince and a beautiful princess, but now they were rather chubby, which only enhanced their cuteness.

“You’re one to talk!” Quinton’s face showed no good emotions. “Are you working as a nanny on the side? How long has it been since you started taking care of that Jovan guy? You aren’t even caring for Abby and Adie anymore! What did he ever do to earn your sworn loyalty?”

The man had been unhappy that she left her business and children behind just to take care of a member of the Hunt family. However, Renee was just too good at coaxing him, so he couldn’t bring himself to say anything harsh, either.

Regardless, he was still rather upset.

“I’m sorry, Quinton. I know how hard it must’ve been for you to take care of my company and the kids, but I promise to be back the moment I’m done. How about I start singing you guys some songs to make up for this? One of each?” Renee said as she cleared her throat.

“Alright, alright, quit messing around!” Quinton quickly stopped her.

“You know I can’t bear to get mad at you. Is that why you keep messing with me? But I have to say. It’s my job to take care of Azure Group. The more the company develops, the higher our family will rise. It’s just that… the little ones have been missing you so much that they couldn’t even get a wink of sleep!”

“I’m sorry!” Renee seemed very guilty. She then turned towards the children. “Adie, Abby, have you been having fun with Uncle Quinton? Do you blame me for not being there with you?”

“Mommy, you don’t want Abby and Adie anyway! I don’t want to talk to you anymore.” Aiden had always been quite sensitive as a child, so he had always held a grudge against Renee for not saying goodbye.

After saying that, the headstrong little boy ran off and refused to come back, no matter how much Quinton called out to him.

Abby was relatively more understanding than Adie, but it was exactly because of her well-behaved nature that Renee found it more difficult to bear.

“Abby, are you also very angry with Mommy?”

Abby shook her head. “Mommy, I’m not mad at you. I know you love us a lot, so you must have a good reason. Abby knows you’re sadder than any of us, so please don’t be sad. We’ll be waiting for you to come home.”

Renee’s eyes reddened as she responded, “Abby, do you remember what Mommy taught you, that we have to repay the kindness that we receive? Let’s just say… Someone sacrificed themselves to save Mommy, and now Mommy has to take care of them because they’re in need of assistance. Do you think I should help them?”

“Mhm!” Abby nodded without hesitation. “Mommy, I understand, don’t worry, and keep repaying that kindness you received. I’ll talk to Adie later, I’m sure he’ll understand.”

“Thank you, my baby.” Renee was moved to tears.

Despite the misfortunes in her life, she was sure that she could overcome it all as long as she had her children with her.
